Worked at an auto auction yard a few years back and we had two rows constantly filled with Takata airbag replacement cars. They had to have the airbag guy come out each week and replace them all before they could be resold. Swap them to a different row after the fix and replace with more cars. By the way if anyone purchases from these places just know that boats and rvs are a steal as they are usually totalled out by insurance without any damage to them

I was one of the guys who was going into junkyards to confirm the status of those inflators, eventually the salvage yards jumped on to programs Honda worked with that would buy the inflators out of the yard and ensure their destruction, or get back to Honda for testing purposes to monitor failure rates
